Get real my friend. Cork and Waterford are very poor???? One of them won Munster last year and both contested All-Ireland Semi Finals. Teams dont die in twelve months nor do they become born again. Get a life. Enjoy life in Div 2 for now matey. If I were you Id focus my attention on yere need for promotion as opposed to long winded dreams of Munster sucess.

Glad to see Donal at Limerick, he's a fine manager and will no doubt improve and re-build a fine Limerick team. I have no doubt ye will put it up to us in the Munster this year and who knows perhaps cause an upset. Wish ye all the best and cant wait for championship hurling.

We will see come Sunday. Clare will win it by 4-5 points. Limerick have a poor record in Ennis. Our pace in the forward line will be too much for ye . I also feel that not playing in the Wateford Crystal Cup was a mistake. If Honan starts he will destroy Lucy!!!!


firstly, clare were poor.... secondly, we hammered ye... thirdly, honan destroyed no one but himself!!! he was poor, i dunno how he was kept on the pitch that long

Limerick back. Unfortunately they were never there in the first place.

Fair play to Limerick. It sounds as if Clare were brutal but its still early days though. Don't forget they'll have to win the league final to gain promotion so Clare are still in with a chance. As are maybe Antrim, they may fancy themselves to sneak into the final and gain promotion.

Well done Limerick.

Firstly congrats on the result.... but really can anyone read too much into this result at this stage of the year things are moving in the right direction but to score 2-09 in a senior hurling match isn't overly inspiring in fact seen as clare only scored 6 points that says how bad Clare have started. Sorry lads just want to put it in perspective a bit.

Anyways things can greatly inprove over the comming months and here's to a good year for Limerick hurling

Good result yesterday as Clare are not a bad side. The two will probably meet again in the league decider and that will be the must win match. It was oddly low scoring though. I hope Davy Fitz's blanket defense tactics are not spreading.

I wasn't at the game but the reports that are coming back are as follows:

1 - Clare were brutal
2 - The weather was brutal
3 - Limerick played a lot of short passing

I'm glad we won, but there's very little we can read into this. Antrim & Carlow will be itching to beat Limerick & Clare as people seem to think Limerick & Clare will walk this division. Ths division could be more competetive than we all think and if it is that would be great preparation for the championship.

slayer:

Think 1-4 of that was from frees so 1-4 in open play in any game is a poor return especially when Clare were supposed to be brutal, I know it's only the first games but Limerick need to get a bit of fire power up front.

Tipp tried to play a lot of short passes again kilkenny too dosen't work this time of year kilkenny were way more direct and looked a hell of a lot sharper early days but plenty to improve on.

Bit if an upset too in division 2 with down beating Carlow didn't see that on the cards.

Im pleased for limerick, they needed the win more. However as previous posters have stated its too early to read anything into result. Overall I expect the main honours to go to Kilkenny or Tipperary with Galway the best of the rest. Cork are rebuilding and will not feature for the next 2 years however we had a little bit of fun at the weekend with great victories for Ballymartle and Meelin. I have some connections with Ballymartle and am absolutely delighted for them.

Laois are in division 2 as well you know...sure were missing a few but we've still got just as much of a chance as Antrim or Carlow.

Markymark (Laois) - Posts: 644 - 15/02/2011 17:45:15    868511

Laois not missing that many, still a good panel of players, very balanced team with good hurlers throughout. i fancy them to split the precieved view of clare limerick league final.
